Philly EnterpriseTech Roundup 12/14 thru 12/18: For Uber, what happens in Arizona stays there; Tridiuum has a redundant 'U'; Burke still down over losing Fox to Disney

Watch out, Pittsburgers. Uber's autonomous autos will be back on the streets with the state's blessing, still in test. I understand Uber's monitors will be instructed to shout "Fore" when entering a new road.
Philly digital health startup Tridiuum raises $9.5m in VC funds & debt, and they have moved in from the outer limits (Wayne) to Center City.
Took me a while to spot the redundant 'U".
NBC Universal’s boss Steve Burke sent a rhythmic holiday greeting to employees this week, and it contained some possible predictions about 2019. OTT? NBC's best move would be to get control of Hulu.
Larry Ellison says there"s no way anyone would move from Oracle to an Amazon database.
And Google transferred the domain Duck.com to DuckDuckGo (with the redundant 'Duck"), though its not clear whether Google sold it or just turned it over to DDG. It had been a contentious issue between the two. But its yet another PR victory for Gabriel Weinberg
